    [shrug] Ehh, just more ways for these idiots to grift one another and fuck each other over even more.

    And they accuse the left of dealing in identity politics.

      If I didn’t have these pesky morals, I could make so much money off of them. Just slap a “MAGA/AMERICA FIRST/PATRIOTISM” label on some product and claim that purchase of this product hurts liberals. Then, pull in the money until they catch on to the scheme.

      After they finally catch on, you just launch the next product under a different name and grift more money from them.

        And that’s why you have really smart people like Cruz just going all-in and saying whatever. Same with some talk-show host. If you’re sadic and cruel you can get rich on top of it by grifting this movement of dumbasses.

        There have been so many times I’ve wanted to sell heavily marked-up merchandise to these jamokes and donate 100% of the profits to the thing they’re protesting (i.e., planned parenthood, the goddamn library, etc.)

        Just keep using names like Protect the Children, American Strength, or idk, March of the Steel Boots or whatever and they’ll lap it up like it’s monster energy drink spiked with gas station dick pills

    • Right wing people are morally and intellectually bankrupt. The politicians know they have nothing to offer their voters, so they go for the FUD approach. It isn’t our predatory deregulation and destruction of the environment that’s the problem, it’s all those trans people!

      Funny how the group of people that accuses others the mos,t of things like pedophilia, are the ones that resoundingly get charged with pedophilia.

      With the right, it’s always projection. They are all about the identity politics, all the time. Just watch them react to things like bits of cloth and songs played at games, as an example. Or being told - correctly - that this country was founded as a secular nation, not a xtian one…or being told that xtianity may dwindle to less than 50% in the not too distant future…
